Chapter 41: On the Wall
Hundreds of pitch-black rats crawled up and down on its body, countless small red eyes staring at everyone.
It was a goblin.
Just when everyone was still in fear of seeing the monster, a silver axe suddenly cut off its head.
It was all so swift that the guards closest to the goblin didn't react to the black blood spurt.
Even though the boulders and crossbows caused them a lot of trouble during the goblins' siege, with their terrifying strength and speed, and their incredible numbers, they still reached the top of the city wall in a short period of time.
Claw by claw at the edge of the wall, and the goblins were already climbing up.
"Be careful, they're coming up!"
An axe severs a goblin's claw, and Eren cries.
The broken-clawed goblin roared and fell, and everyone reacted at this time.
"Don't panic, keep throwing arrows and stones!"
Baron Angelo stood on the commanding platform next to him and shouted loudly.
Hearing his figure, the guards who had been weak in their legs calmed down one after another and continued to defend the city.
Another team of guards came up from behind, guarding the crossbow and boulder along with Alan and Mia.
Mia also held a giant axe in her hand, but the light on the blade was stronger than that in Alan's hand, and the size was a little larger.
The smooth blade of the axe can cut through a goblin's claws with a single stroke, just as easily as a knife cuts through fruit.
That's the Iron Axe Shard......
Alan thought as he glanced at the giant axe in Mia's hand and chopped a goblin off the wall.
Even though Alan and Mia have recovered almost and can easily deal with the goblins that climb to the city wall with the guards, the city wall is too long.
There were already a few fish that had slipped through the net, easily tearing several nearby guards into pieces of flesh and blood.
The crossbows and boulders in that area were suddenly rendered useless.
Mia took out a falcon feather and injected it with magical power, and a red light suddenly appeared under her feet.
The slender figure turned into an afterimage.
A few silver flashes of light, and the goblins that had managed to climb up were suddenly cut into several pieces by sharp axes and rolled on the city wall.
Eren doesn't have many Hayabusa Feathers, so he can only rely on his fairly good speed to deal with the goblins that want to climb up nearby.
The walls were cleaned for a while.
But this scenario was short-lived.
As more and more monsters gathered under the city walls, the giant crossbows that could only attack in the distance gradually lost their effectiveness.
And the boulder prepared in advance has little left under this round of attacks, and it can support two more rounds of attacks at most.
Once Mia's Falcon Feather is damaged and loses its teleportation-like speed, the two of them can't take care of the entire city wall alone.
Baron Angelo stood on the high platform, looking at the city walls that had become extremely chaotic, and couldn't help but frown.
He turned and looked at the main gate.
The armed populace, under the command of the guards, were forming battle phalanxes on both sides of the city gates.
They couldn't help but shudder when they heard the roar of the monsters outside the city walls and the sound of battle like the earth shaking.
Although they had never faced a monster in person, they had heard of the ferocity of the monster.
The thought of thousands of monsters outside made people's legs limp.
But when they looked up and saw Baron Angelo watching them, they suddenly felt full of strength, and the speed of forming a phalanx couldn't help but be a little faster.
Most of their weapons were spears, and the rest were armed with steel shields and short swords.
The one with the shield stood at the front of the phalanx, holding the shield for defense.
Baron Angelo withdrew his gaze and looked back at the city walls.
Mia and Eren were still trying their best to kill their enemies, and they were still comfortable on the surface, but they knew that this kind of scene would not last long.
An axe slashed into the head of a goblin trying to climb up, and Eren stood in the gap in the wall, trying to pull the axe out, when suddenly a strong wind came from him.
A goblin was holding its claws aloof, lunging in Ellen's direction.
In order to dodge the blow, Alan had to let go of the axe handle and fell backwards.
With a backhand, he kicked the sneaking goblin out of the way, and he relied on the reaction force to stabilize himself on the wall.
The giant axe stuck on the goblin's head fell from the city wall along with the goblin.
When the guards next to him saw this scene, their eyes widened, and even their hands that were pushing the stones stopped.
It wasn't until his companion kicked him that he reacted and looked away.
That's when it happened.
A golden mass smashed like a cannonball at the guards.
"Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, a huge gap appeared in the city wall.
The original guards seemed to have evaporated from the world, leaving only the puddles of blood on the gap.
"It's ......"
Seeing this horrific scene, Alan turned his head to look at the source of the golden mass.
It's a Golden Desire Slime.
Countless gold coins were flowing up and down its body, and with every movement, there was a clatter of gold coins falling to the ground.
This monster ...... Attack from a distance?
Just as Eren was terrified, the slime's tentacles grabbed a cloud of gold coins from its body full of gold coins and threw them towards the city wall.
Just as the gold coin was about to smash on the city wall, Alan saw an egg the size of a man's head fly out from the side and attack the gold coin.
The egg was white all over, and it was about the same as a normal egg except that it was unusually large.
But such an egg, at the moment of collision with that gold coin, actually exploded directly.
With a bang, countless gold coins splattered out from the center of the explosion.
Even Allen, who was standing on the city wall, had a few gold coins on his clothes.
Grenade eggs?
Turning his head, Alan saw Mia standing beside him, her red arms flashing red.
Is the giant egg also a sacrifice?
As soon as his thoughts drifted slightly, Alan immediately reacted.
The goblins who were climbing around noticed the gap and crawled towards it as if they were going crazy.
Once they get through that gap and into the town, the consequences are dire.
Taking out the last fragment of the axe in the sacrificial bag, Eren took the giant axe that appeared out of thin air in his hand and rushed towards the gap.
Even though Mia was constantly shooting down the gold nuggets that the slime had smashed with the egg-shaped sacrifice, she had to take care of the rest of the wall so that no goblins could break through the defenses from elsewhere.
At this moment, the remaining three slimes were already close to the moat.
If they also use ranged attacks like the first slime, the walls that were just enough to fight will be completely shattered in an instant.
Seeing this, Baron Angelo couldn't help but hold on to the wooden fence in front of him.
His face was pale, but his deep voice reached the ears of every guard on the city walls.
"Open the gates!"
